Moodle version 3.11.5 with the latest version of the Attendance plugin installed.
I have been trying to get this to work for our use case and I have hit a dead end. Perhaps someone here can offer a hint.
Our intended usage: We have a blended class where we deliver lectures to students via Zoom (without the Moodle plugin) and we provide all the other learning resources in a Moodle course. We would like to use the Attendance plugin to track that they went to the Zoom lecture. We would like to use the "self-reporting" feature with a different codeword for each session, that will be presented during the Zoom. We would like to allow them to self-report their attendance in Moodle any time after they get the codeword, for a fixed period of time after the Zoom is finished. Let's call it two days.
I set up each session with the date and time of the Zoom, and I create a codeword. I went into the "Status Sets" and put a value of 2880 (2 days in minutes) under "Available for Students" ... and save it.
During that date and time window, Submit attendance is available for my students to click on, key in the codeword, and they can self-report. However, after the end of the specified time window, Submit attendance disappears ... it does not seem like my 2880 minutes from the time the session begins is valid.
I was then thinking that it is possible that the Attendance date and time was intended only for the session time in which they may mark themselves present (i.e., they must be in Moodle during that windows). My workaround would be to make the "Session" last two days ... but a session can only take place in one date with a start and end time.
So ... any suggestions? What am I doing wrong?
